Chords

When applicable, the C G Bb chord changes occur on the last three strums of the strumming patterns. The muted strums are all lightly palm muted G chords. This song is really played using Open G tuning, however if you just want to strum the chords, use the chord fingerings below, (ignore the UG chord charts), which are exactly the same if you use standard tuning or Open G tuning.

  Now on the day I was born,   the nurses all gathered 'round

G                                G
  And they gazed in wide wonder,   at the joy they had found

  The head nurse spoke up,   said "Leave this one alone."
